Together

Melba Moore:  Aquarius

This next set of pictures were all taken in Selma Alabama. I was there on a Sunday so of course it was going to be quiet with church and then football but it bothered me that a place that represents such a historic moment in the civil rights movement is clearly a bit economically depressed and while there were momuments near the bridge I almost got the idea that people wanted to forget it all ever happened. Which in my opinion really represents the mindset of many white southerners ( not all ) “Oh we had that nasty civil rights movement almost as bad as the War of Northern Agression, thank God that unpleasantess is over….”

Downtown…..

I just loved this plaque inidcating that Lafayette was “entertained” in Selma. Obvious I want to know exactly what kind of entertainment was provided.

I went to Alabama last weekend.

This is just a long ass driveway….

Even the cats ride four wheelers in rural Alabama….

And the chickens….

Everybody has an old car or two setting around….

And hunting dogs, this guy hunts ducks….

My MIL’s pretty chickens, the one standing apart is a pet named Lucille. Lucille gets all kind of scraps and it freaked me the fuck out that Lucille ate some ham scraps. I said to her,”please don’t feed that chicken some chicken and turn her into a cannibal.”

She thought that was quite funny. I actually suspect she thinks I am very, very, weird.

My BIL doing some welding on some broken tool making equipment for my spouse whose major hobby is making knives. My BIL is six foot six and has hands the size of footballs. He is a bit crippled up from football and is a easy going guy but I think one would still not want to start a bar fight with him and he is fifty-five. He looked very elegant doing the work.

Stoned Soul Picnic

I heard the local Humane Society had a display of unique dog statues at the mall for a fund raiser. So off I went. But  “the man” hassled me. This being the south it was done politely but the mall security insisted that I only take pictures in certain areas because that was the “pubic” part of the mall ( near a fountain ) and even though I assured him I would not include any store signs in the picture. I tried negotiating and he sighed and at some point walked away and I of course stretched the limit of our agreement which I know he expected I would do. Later I stopped at the customer service desk to ask about the rationale behind being able to only take certain pictures and she repeated the caveat about not including store front and their signs. She agreed to call a Manager who was in a meeting and I had enough of the mall and left.

I still am not sure how a middle aged woman taking pictures threatens mall security, the future of capitalism, the crucial “mall integrity” or might interfere with other customers right to shop. Don’t know. I might just go back one day and take some more and use the “play stupid” tactic.
